We are definitely fans of BBQ around here. The grill gets fired up all summer, the griddle stays busy the rest of the year, and even the crockpot delivers amazing BBQ dishes that our whole family likes!
So, no matter how you like to cook up your chicken, we’ve got a dish that will rival any game on the big screen. Serve up these pull apart BBQ chicken sliders for a game day meal, side dish or appetizer!
We use shredded roasted chicken because of the great flavor that the chicken has already. But you can easily grill or bbq some chicken if you want the extra flavor. Or toss a few chicken breasts into the crockpot with the BBQ sauce for a really simple option. There are so many ways to cook the chicken, just choose your favorite technique and then shred it!
